An Ulcer of Twenty-Five Years
Cured.

Mr.. Hugh Nelson is one of the old
time representatives of Kentucky blue
blood He is Justly proud Of his au-
ceslors' record in the history of our
early revolutionary war. But all these
ancestral advantages did not exempt
Mr.. Nelson from a most painful blood
poison that held him victim for a
quarter of century Mr.. Nelson is
we'll beloved by his neighbors at Hop
kinsville, where he resides in a stately
mansion, overlooking the city; and
they will be delighted to hear that he
is finally cured of his painful malady !:
HorKINsv1LLE, KY, !
Feb. "a, 's7. !
Gentlemen:
During the war I was vaccinaied
with an impure vaccine virus, that pois-
oned my blood. The impure blood
manifested itself frequently for twenty
FIVE years by virulent ulcer on my
left ankle. Several times by severe
treatment | healed the ulcer, but it
generally took about two years. But
that the poison was yet in my system
was shown that on the slightest strain
or scratil where the ulcer used to be
it Immediately broke out violently
Having tried the best doctors and all
kinds of medicines without getting a
permanent cure, l determined four
years ago this spring to try swif's
Specific. Ten small bottles entirely
cured me, and my leg has been well
ever since. That Swift's SPECIFIC
cured me of a blood poison Of twenty
five years, is the highest praise | can
accord it. All my neighbors know Of
my case, and many have been benefit
ted by my experiences; but there are
thee now in their graves that | am
confident wonld be living to-day had
they taken S. S. S.
Yours truly,
HUGH NELSON.

Trouble Al Round.

are not go many bricklayers leaving that
city as when the lock -out was begun, and
adds: "When the union here raised its
initiation fee to $25 for the purpose OF
keeping the bricklayers cut Of Chicago,
they cid not think, probably, that other
cities would follow their example. Those
bricklayers who went from here to Nil
waukee, Kansas City and Omaha were
shoe ked on reaching those cities to find
that they would not be allowed to work
by the unions until they paid their initia
tion fees. AS all those who went away
intend to return when the trouble bere IL
settled, they did not like to pay $40 OF
$25 into a union to whose membership
they may not belong more than aweek or
two. The unions OF the cities named re
fused to change their constitution to az

brick layers who left here week or two

pay the fee the union required, they coul'
